<p>As someone who is totally blind, the Fediverse is the only place where I have ever been able to follow people such as photographers, artists, or even those who post pictures of their cats or the food they ate. The reason is that most of them use alt text. They take the time to describe the images that my screen reader can't recognise. Some write the descriptions themselves, and others use tools such as altbot. Some worry that their descriptions aren't good enough, especially when they are new at this. Let me assure you, not only are they good enough, they are extremely appreciated! If the rest of the world thought as you did, it would be a much better place. Don't hesitate to ask if you're unsure of something, but never think that we don't notice your effort.</p><p><a href="/tags/appreciation/" rel="tag">#appreciation</a> <a href="/tags/accessibility/" rel="tag">#accessibility</a> <a href="/tags/altbot/" rel="tag">#altbot</a> <a href="/tags/alttext/" rel="tag">#alttext</a> <a href="/tags/blind/" rel="tag">#blind</a> <a href="/tags/blindness/" rel="tag">#blindness</a> <a href="/tags/fediverse/" rel="tag">#fediverse</a> <a href="/tags/gratitude/" rel="tag">#gratitude</a> <a href="/tags/images/" rel="tag">#images</a> <a href="/tags/inclusivity/" rel="tag">#inclusivity</a> <a href="/tags/peoplewhocare/" rel="tag">#peoplewhocare</a> <a href="/tags/pictures/" rel="tag">#pictures</a> <a href="/tags/technology/" rel="tag">#technology</a></p>

<p>Tis done 🎉<br>My <a href="/tags/youtube/" rel="tag">#youtube</a> channel, formerly known as BlindlyCoding, is now named ViewpointUnseen. This allows me to broaden the content on that channel to include a lot more different types of content, from tutorials for the <a href="/tags/blind/" rel="tag">#blind</a> from a <a href="/tags/blindness/" rel="tag">#blindness</a> perspective, tech reviews from that same perspective, <a href="/tags/gaming/" rel="tag">#gaming</a> streams as well as reaction content when I find sufficient things to react to.<br>I think there's a lot of value I can offer to the world at large with stuff that's currently locked inside my head and having a bit more time during the work week allows me to spend more time on <a href="/tags/contentcreation/" rel="tag">#contentCreation</a>. Screen reader tutorials? Hacking streams? Videogames? Reviewing pieces of tech and supplying <a href="/tags/accessibility/" rel="tag">#accessibility</a> recommendations to users AND developers/creators? Yes, all of that and more. Stay tuned!</p>
